The moon wasn’t full


Yes, it was a half moon, 
And my mobile camera couldn’t do it justice, 
But the way it sent light echoes to the stars, 
Highlighted the striations of the clouds 
 While etching the dark strokes of the tree 
Felt like encouragement: 
 To help all those we can; 
To shine a light on both the beauty 
 And the darkness of the world as best we can; 
 Not shrinking from the task 
For fear that some might mock our imperfections.
